1Upload the TIFF images you want to mark, already at their final size — watermarking comes after resizing, not before it.
2Upload a transparent PNG logo or type your text, then choose the font, the colour and the opacity.
3Set the position, or switch to a tiled repeat when a single corner mark would be too easy to crop away.
4Download the watermarked TIFF file; nothing else is added to it.
Watermark TIFF FAQ
How does Watermark TIFF place the mark?
+
Concretely, the mark is composited with proper alpha blending and written back losslessly, which is why a lossless format is the right place to keep a watermarked master you will export from repeatedly. You control the position, the size and the opacity, and the same settings are applied consistently across everything you upload.
Can I use my own logo, or only text?
+
Either. Upload a transparent PNG logo, or type text and choose the font, colour and opacity. A tiled repeat is available when one corner mark is too easy to crop away.
Does the file format affect how the watermark comes out?
+
It does. TIFF is the archival container: lossless LZW or DEFLATE, 16-bit-per-channel depth, CMYK, and multiple pages in a single file. That governs how cleanly a semi-transparent mark can be blended into the underlying content.
Anything specific to TIFF worth knowing?
+
Yes — a single TIFF can hold several pages and 16-bit-per-channel data, so a tool has to decide whether to act on page one or on all of them. It affects when in your workflow the mark should be applied.
Does a watermark actually protect my work?
+
It deters casual reuse and it credits you; it is not security. A corner mark can be cropped and a faint one can be painted out. If protection matters, a large semi-transparent mark across the subject is far harder to remove than a discreet one in a corner.
Should I watermark before or after resizing?
+
After. Watermark the final deliverable at its final size, so the mark stays legible and proportionate. Watermarking a master you will process again means the mark gets resampled and compressed along with everything else.
What can I upload to Watermark TIFF?
+
PNG, BMP and TIFF are the lossless raster formats this handles directly, and lossy sources (JPG, WebP, GIF) work too if you want them in the same batch. Multi-page TIFFs are detected and handled page by page.
Is there a file size limit on Watermark TIFF?
+
Yes: free accounts process images up to 25 MB each; lossless sources hit that ceiling sooner than photographs do, because nothing has been thrown away yet. If you are over it, converting to PNG first is often enough on its own — a BMP is routinely ten to twenty times the size of the identical image as PNG.
Will Watermark TIFF lower the quality of my TIFF images?
+
No. A lossless source round-trips bit-exactly, so unless you explicitly ask for a lossy output format the pixels that come back are the pixels that went in. That is the whole reason to keep working in this family while you are still editing.
Can I run Watermark TIFF on several TIFF images at once?
+
Yes — upload the set and they process in parallel under one set of settings. Lossless files are larger, so a big batch is bound by your upload speed rather than by the processing itself.
Does the alpha channel survive?
+
Yes. PNG and TIFF carry a full 8-bit alpha channel and it is preserved end to end. It is only flattened if you deliberately target a format that has no alpha, in which case transparent pixels are composited onto white.
Does Watermark TIFF cost anything?
+
No. Watermark TIFF runs free without an account and adds no watermark. Files are removed from the workers shortly after you download, and nothing about the image is retained.
